Waymos are also pretty dangerous.

All driverless cars are more dangerous than a human right now. These companies are beta testing their garbage on live streets.

I was military before my first civilian job.

We had that lesson beat into our heads repeatedly, and yet there were still people who never quite picked up on it.

We had the consent to monitoring pop-up every single time we logged onto a government computer, and then had that consent to monitoring explicitly spelled out every three months as we had to complete a computer based training program.

For some people, it still didn't take.

All that said, this particular thought crime detection effort is creepy as fuck.

A script for asking Republican Senators to stop KOSA (US Politics) (lemmy.sdf.org)

The horrible Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is once again moving forward in Congress, so now's a key time to contact your Senators and Representative. https://stopkosa.com has a summary of why this bill is so bad, including its harmfulness on LGBTQ+ youth, as well as a form to contact your Senators. But Republicans are just...

Republican AGs have already said they'll use KOSA to block anything trans related, so maybe don't bring that up when talking to Republican senators.

I do live like that.

Importantly, while cats are safer indoors, vulnerable wildlife is much safer when cats are indoors.

Any time I see someone say "flashbacks to 'nam" I think about the story of Old Man Henderson.

Sadly, I don't know if the story is still hosted anywhere...

A lifesaver until the Roomba becomes sentient. Then it's robot ankle apocalypse.

Brother printers are great. If only because they don't add all the pointless bullshit add-on "features" that everyone else does.

Brother printers, they're just printers. Nothing more, nothing less.

They also take third party ink.

I would do karaoke sober.

I mean, any of the times I've actually tried before I've been rather drunk, so much so that I was actually once escorted off-stage in the middle of a 2-minute song...

The problem is, you can't trust ChatGPT to not lie to you.

And since generative AI is now being used all over the place, you just can't trust anything unless you know damn well that a human entered the info, and then that's a coin flip.

chaogomu ,

That's the coin flip.

A rocket like that has almost zero pilot control.

In fact, for the longest time, astronauts were 100% payload. Now they're 99% payload.

I used Gnome for years and can honestly say that if you put a lot of effort into it, mess with configs, and install a few extras, it rises to a new level of kind of shitty but usable.

Fuck, KDE was pretty a decade ago, and Gnome is still just plugging away, being the bare minimum.

Ticket quotas are illegal in every state. So the police chiefs often avoid writing an official policy of ticket quotas, they just punish officers who don't write enough for something like slacking on the job, and then unofficially tell the officer how many tickets are enough to avoid punishment.

Not writing it down makes it harder to prove, which is great when there's an illegal policy that they're enforcing.

I cannot in good conscience support the guillotines, They're too clean and leave the rich asshole's reputation intact. I vote we give them the David Carradine treatment instead.

I was once banned from Reddit for correctly pointing out that the medically approved cure for Nazism is one fist, applied directly to the face repeatedly until the afflicted individual stops being a Nazi.

The medical professional applying this cure can substitute any handy blunt object for their first if so desired.

chaogomu ,

Yeah, I can't bring myself to root for the Nazi mercenary group who want to wage total war in Ukraine.

Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.
